The school offers a contemporary Visual Arts specialist program that encompasses a diverse range of 2D and 3D art forms, including drawing, painting, printmaking, textiles, and sculpture. Students are encouraged to embrace creative risks by maintaining a visual diary, which helps them develop ideas and practice new techniques.
The art room serves as a dynamic and enjoyable learning environment where students’ voices are valued through an inquiry-based approach. There is a strong emphasis on sustainability and creativity, particularly in the creative reuse of recyclable materials. Open-ended independent tasks and collaborative projects empower students to become confident, resilient, and autonomous artists.
In addition, the school has established strong connections with Sculpture by the Sea and the Art Gallery of Western Australia, providing students with opportunities to experience art in situ and collaborate with contemporary artists. Their work is celebrated through displays, regularly featured in local media, and showcased as example of best practices in Visual Arts pedagogy in academic publications and international conferences.
